Nov. 4, 2022 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recommending health care providers discuss alternative options for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-guided breast biopsy procedures with patients if a facility is unable to perform the biopsy due to a shortage of Philips Invivo MRI breast biopsy grid plates and other Philips Invivo MRI disposables.

The FDA Recommends That Health Care Providers:

·      Discuss options with patients if MRI breast biopsy grid plates or other MRI coil disposables are not available at their facility.

Often the effort of assessing options defaults to solving specific issues. While this is an important step in creating functional and technical requirements for profiling or grading vendors and solutions, there are other important considerations that should be accounted for in the process.

Leading into the last part of the year inevitably includes discussions around RSNA. One of the common threads of discussion is related to technology and its replacement, procurement and ultimately adoption.
Through DBT, medical technology has been able to pave a new path and provide a launch board for AI and other technologies that can use its high-resolution images

The industry is seeing a sense of momentum from industry leaders to help expand lung screening programs

The pace of new lung cancer screening initiatives, published research and collective efforts of organizations and imaging specialists in the United States and across the world has, impressively, quickened. While Lung Cancer Awareness Month is officially on the calendar in November, the work of a broad, committed range of focused experts is a daily priority.
The FDA’s outlined framework and action plan are steps in the right direction, but we need to ensure that inaction or delayed response in addressing regulation of AI and ML do not stall innovation

After lagging other sectors for years, the era of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is dawning as its use is becoming more prevalent in a variety of applications — from medical imaging and ophthalmology, to remote monitoring and leveraging electronic health records (EHRs) to identify potential risk for chronic diseases or complications.
